Saturday High Noon

Did you listen to the latest Free Speech Radio News?

You'll get headlines and some clips early on with today's show, then the full half hour in the second hour.

Wichita's KanVote organization took action this Thursday against the suppression of low income voters.  I'll be summarizing the action and commenting on similar activities in the first hour.

Here are a list of links to make us think:
